Admission is ultimately determined by the committee reviewing your application, so no course or program (even this one) can give a 100% guarantee of acceptance. What I can tell you is that the strategies outlined in this course have proven to help previous successful applicants (myself included) receive offers from these universities. 

This course is designed for first-time college applicants and transfer applicants. This course is not designed for PhD applicants.

Yes, transfer students can take this course. In fact, this course is largely based on my own experience in transferring to an Ivy League.

Students of any year can take this course. This means high schoolers, college students, and even middle schoolers. The earlier you start, the better. 

While this course is designed to help students become strong candidates for Ivy Leagues and other top universities, the lessons can be used to apply to any school in the US.

Not exactly. This course is designed for students applying to undergraduate programs. While the basic principles covered in this course can be helpful in applying to graduate programs, I do not cover components specific to graduate school applications (such as research statements and the GRE). 

The strategy given in the course is meant to help for undergrad admissions, so I would not necessarily recommend it to PhD applicants. For PhD applicants, the strategy will be a bit different in that you should spend the bulk of your efforts developing yourself as a researcher. Join research groups and prioritize research activities (rather than pursuing personal projects).

Yes, this course can help parents prepare their children to apply to college, even if they are not yet in high school. I would actually recommend this. You’ll learn how to help your child find a passion and explore it deeply. Doing so over a long period of time tends to make for stronger applicants. 

No, this course will focus on helping you improve other aspects of your application beyond grades and test scores. That said, these components are still important.
